EVERY human life is of equal value. That is something
UK Government has given its backing to the bombing and the blockade. The Labour leadership has been no betterThat has sadly proven to be the case time and time again in how the world reacts to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the 75 years of conflict it has caused.
And Israel’s collective punishment of the people of Gaza, the withholding of water, food and power and the indiscriminate bombing by Israel is not only a catastrophe, it is a war crime.Gaza, whose population includes many forced to flee from previous rounds of ethnic cleansing committed by Israel, has already endured a 17-year siege. Now, Israel wants to cut it off from the world completely.
No government which claims to care at all about human rights and international law should support Israel’s brutal bombing campaign. That particularly applies to those like the UK who have a history of arming, supporting and providing political cover for successive Israeli governments. This grotesque disregard is perhaps no surprise considering the role that successive UK governments have played in propping up human rights- abusing regimes around the world.He has taken the lead where Downing Street has failed and has shown a huge amount of personal strength despite the awful situation being faced by his own family in Gaza.
